Steven Halpern says in his foreword to the New Age Music Guide by P.J.Birosik, published by MacMillan "...explorers, who helped lay the groundwork for what we now term New Age Music include Kitaro, Andreas Vollenweider, Vangelis, C.H.Deuter, Klaus Schulze, Paul Horn, Suzanne Doucet, Brian Eno and Paul Winter."

Suzannes 22 years in the world of New Age music have provided her with incomparable knowledge, experience and contacts.

Seven of her titles were in the top ten environmental charts at Amazon.com, including being #1 and #2 for over 2 years. Shirley Maclaine used Suzannes music on her best-selling video and audiocassette titled Inner Workout. She also produced and directed the award winning video Starflight with Chris Toussaint.

Suzanne has been a consultant to hundreds of artists, producers, record labels, radio programmers, distributors and retailers. She is an expert on alternative marketing campaigns, such as reaching bookstores, nature stores and other gift shops and has developed and supervised many mainstream and alternative marketing campaigns for independent labels and artists.

Magazines and TV production companies have interviewed her for their publications in Germany, Austria, France, Spain, Greece, Brazil, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea.
